I expected to find the Russians fierce
looking people They are the very op-
posite. Fierceness must be accompanied BIZ
a degree of mental substance The average
Russian one meets in the streets OF in the
country is of medium size. He is of light
yellow tan color, from exposure to weather
and existence upon coarse food. Generally
he wears full beard, and four times out of
five it is light in color and very filthy His
hair is about two inches thick, is cut as if the
work was done with meat ak or circular
saw, and besides being combed down in front
is slightly parted in the middle, as though he
were not sure whether he is male or a fe-
male. He invariably wears high topped
boots, and his trousers are tucked into the
boot tops The boot tops have a series of
finely artistic wrinkles midway, and are gen
orally well oiled. This is the only tasteful
indication i'll the dress. The coat of peas
ant is a cross between a robe, a frock and a
blouse. It comes almost to the knees, is
single breasted and has wide belt. If the
subject is a driver he wears a robe and belt,
and the garment is of blue cloth and comes to
the ground. The headwear is a broad cap
with low crown.
The Russian is as filthy as he is ignorant
and unsightly. Only three or four of the
principal hotels have any preparations for
bathing, and these are extremely meager,
The Russian bath in Russia is q myth l
paid three roubles for place to take very
ordinary bath in the principal hotel Not
one palace in five has a bath, and as the
waters of the Neva are too cold for swim
ming baths, the people, as mass, shed their
accumulated filth like fish scales And since
dried fish, oil and cured vegetables form the
staple diet for the majority Of the people,
and the Neva, which furnishes the water
supply, can be detected miles distant by the
nostrils, it is only the cold atmosphere that
prevents long mlortuary ists.-Cor. New

Goat with Red VVhiskers.

Within the borders of that region which
boasts of having been the Oldest of the parts
of Europe reclaimed by civilized man, in
Greece, a new quadruped was discovered and
is now exhibited in the geological gardens of
Berlin, Germany. 1t is a goat living upon
the island Of Joura, in the Strophade archi-
pelago, north Of the island Of Enboea. DR..
Reichenow has examined the animal and
given it the name of capra dorcas. There
were a great many of them on the island for
merly, and the Greeks call it Polyalgos, Or
Goat island. Shepherds have of late years
invaded the island, which was uninhabited
except by a hermit, and are waging so re-
lentless war against the goats that they are
rapidly decreasing in number and will soon
be extinct.
There is neither another geological garden
nor a museum il the world in possession Of a
specimen Of this goat or of any part of it.
That at Berlin is a buck, 2 years old, and
still wears its summer fur Of reddish yellow
tint, with stripes of deep black, the dark
necktie being of the greatest breadth. 1t is
altogether striking in appearance. The do
mestic goat, it is thought, may descend from
this species.-Chicago News.

American Girls and Englishnen.

Now, there is another thing upon which
would like to say q word OF two It is the
marriage OF American girls to Englishmen.
How many of these marriages are there that
we can put our finger upon, that money did
not come from the lady, and title from the
gentleman! Not one. If not in present., it
is in future. If the girl hasn't fortune, she
will have one; if the man hasn't title, he is
sure, sooner or later, to come into one, or be
in some way related to man or woman who
has title. 1t is not the way of Englishmen,
OF present or prospective title CT high family,
to marry woman without money.
A girl with money in England is like bar
rel OF molasses i'll July. You can't count the
flies. And then, girl, even without money,
is surrounded by the most absurd rules and
regulations. Love marriages won't do. If
man is content to marry girl without any
fortune, he isn't encouraged much by her
papa and mamma, unless he is able and will.

which must be signed, sealed and delivered
before the ring goes on. Then, too the en-
gagement is depressing period of existence
for man. He can't have any fun. He
mustn't go about with his fiancee He can't
escort her alone to ball, party OF the thea

BREAKING UP fHE CAMP.
The Parting, of the Gypsies-A Pictu1
esquely Sad Scene.


The Parting of the Gypsies-A Pictur-
esquely Sad Scene.
Here were perhaps two score gypsies. Camp
was to be broken at the end of the next week.
The wanderers were to be scattered broad
cast. 1t was absolutely certain they would
all never meet again, even though all should
know the boundless gypsy joy OF the spring
time outgoing. And there is large and
ample human regard, one for another, in this
community of roadside interest and COM
partnership, which we of the 'civilized'
ways can never know Tinker Ze,ze was not
alone in his mournful regret. The camp was
rife with it, just as the landscape, sky and
air were instinct with the tender sadness of
the dying year.
1t seemed to me, nor was it all of seeming,
that the fires themselves burned with less
crackle and flame. Even the sizzling pots,
hanging from the grimy kettle sticks, boiled
and blubbered in minor hearthside tones.
Over in the copses the tethered horses stood
meeSly silent, with lowered heads, or nib
bled at their food as if in serious rumination.
Good wives sat by the tent mouth in quiet
discussion with their husbands, or busted
themselves with the morning meal less spry
and clipper than is the gypsy wo1nan's way.
OuUhS bringing water from the stream or
returning to camp with grain and fodder for
the animals did their work gloomily, and
with none of the summertime whoop and
halloa.
Here and there were groups Of older gypsy
men, seated on wagon tongues, OF leaning
their backs against trees, who smoked their
pipes with long, strong interpretive puffs
and said little, while that little was measured
and reflective. Old spae wives puttered and
bothered querulously, unsteadier in tone,
more restless in movement, and full of that
petulant resentment to change, SO true and
pathetic seal upon the overripe faculties of
old age. Gypsy lasses, ever demure in the
presence OF potent act OF fact in their elders,
but miracles of winsome physical and heart
free abandonment in joyous hours, looked
twice their age in their long gowns and faces
And even the gypsy dogs, those rare sad Wis
aged, voiceless cheats, whose pretense of
sodden ignorance out gypsy the slyest Ro-
many themselves, sat ranged in deferential
distances from the camp fires, the enbodi-
ment of dreary dolefulness. Edgar L. Wake
